Designing a police station

Article Abstract:

Mid-Sussex Divisional Police Headquarters, Haywards Heath, Sussex, UK, incorporates a flexible design in order to keep pace with changes to the police force such as civilianisation and more use of information technology. A standard floor plate is used to meet the varying needs of recreational facilities, holding cells and offices within one building. Over 180 staff use the building, which is attractive internally and externally as well as functional. The project architect was Tim Williams of Sussex Police Authority Architects.

City, heal thyself

Article Abstract:

Shane O'Toole discussed the regeneration of Dublin in his talk 'Monument, Street and Quarter: Collaborative Projects for Dublin,' given to the London Group of the RIAI in Apr, 1992. O'Toole is part of a group of seven architectural practices that form Group 91 in Ireland. The Group have won a competition for regenerating the Temple Bar area of Dublin. Only 1/12 of Dublin's inhabitants live in the centre of the city and O'Toole would like to see people return to the inner city and repair its architectural heritage.

Healing property

Article Abstract:

The new wing of the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth in London, UK, has been designed as a cheap, simple and modest free-standing pavilion, with no stylistic gimmicks. The wing was designed by David Morley, who also handled the second phase, which included the refurbishment and extension of the hospice within the hospital. When designing the wing and the hospice, the architect demonstrated sensitivity and paid attention to the small details which would improve the patient's comfort.
